As her parent, I need to support her, but am terrified inside at the idea of such an invasive operation and wonder if there are other parents out there who have had their children undergo such a procedure, and whether or not it was a success?
Thank you for listening,

Hi Mary, my name is Karen, very nice to meet you. I am sorry to hear your daughter has to go through all of this. Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair. If You ever need someone to talk to please email me. My son is 16 and thank God he is healthy, but he has some issues, that could lead to major health issues in the future.
